a measure or scale [pH = Hydrogen ion potential / H+ potential / potential Hydrogen] Explanation: pH = Hydrogen ion potential / H+ potential / potential Hydrogen pH is the abbreviation for potential hydrogen, a scale representing the relative acidity (or alkalinity) of a solution, in which a value of 7.0 is neutral, below 7.0 is acid, and above 7.0 is alkaline. pH: potential of hydrogen; a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution equal to the common logarithm of the reciprocal of the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per cubic decimetre of solution. Pure water has a pH of 7, acid solutions have a pH less than 7, and alkaline solutions a pH greater than 7 http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Potential of... http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Potential of hydrogen |
